The Game
The mural comes from a long line of paintings using patterns from soles of tennis shoes. The patterns were abstracted and used to catch the energy of tennis.
This in turn led to an almost Polynesian feel in the work so in the end the tennis shoe pattern takes on another persona.
The colour of the mural comes from tennis ball containers.
